Re: What size TV are you playing your games on?

For at least the last 5 years I've been gaming on a 46" Panasonic plasma. Recently, I moved my PS4 and PS3s to my Asus MX279H (27") and I'm loving it! I'm thinking I enjoy playing on a smaller screen for some reason; maybe it's the quality of the monitor.

Re: What size TV are you playing your games on?

Well I love my plasma, the contrast is beautiful. The ps3 and ps4 games look great. No disappointments with my TV.

Only regret is, its a plasma. if you play a game long enough , you will get an image burn-in. The burn-in will fade away after use (if you play something different on the screen). But if you play COD like 30hrs a day 9days a week. The things that always stay on the screen, will NEVER go away. Perfect example. Our plasma at work is always tuned to CNN. Now because of the CNN logo always being displayed on the bottom right of the screen, it is always there. Even when playing a commercial or another station. It will always show CNN very noticeable.

If you are looking for a gaming TV I would strongly suggest anything other than a plasma. Because of the image burn-in, and they run a lot cooler. Plasma's do get warm, and if you have a small room with bad airflow, it will warm up the room in the summer.

thanks @spyder_21 i should look for an LED then? im looking for something around the 6-800 dollar range and for gaming mainly

and i honestly respect that and can see both sides of the argument but at what point DO you care about graphics? PS6 looking like PS2 games? you still don't care? i doubt you will be saying the same thing. the only reason why movies are shot in imax and tvs are now coming in 4K is because people DO care about how things look. you dont expect your new 5000 dollar tv to look like an old black and white rabbit ears tv..

I never said I didn't care how it looked, I said I don't care about numbers. People obsess about numbers, as if hitting an arbitrary number is the difference between a game being good or not, even if they can't possibly tell the difference with the naked eye. To me, if it looks good, it looks good. If a game sucks, but looks great, it still sucks and I have no interest in it.

oh yea by all means. a great looking game that plays like poop is most certainly poop. also if the graphics can't be seen i have no problem with it. reason i kinda brought this up was because of watch dogs. you can CLEARLY see the difference in the PS4 version and the PC demo they have been showing us for years. It went from looking like true next gen to early last gen when they finally showed the PS4 gameplay. It was very jarring to go from a game that looked that great to almost GTA graphics on PS3..

$600 - $800 is a very reasonable price range. You can get a nice TV for that price.

Main factors are

1. How big do you want it, or should I ssay, what is the smallest you want your TV.

2. How far are you sitting from your TV? I am sitting about 4-5 feet from my 54" and it seems perfect distance. It depends on your eyesight. Closer you are the smaller you can get. Farther away then the worst it is for gaming. Won't be able to detect small moving things on the screen.

3. Do you want it to play 3D?

Those are 3 things you have to think about. Then from there is just pricing and comparing TVs.

Re: What size TV are you playing your games on?

honestly you have that 80 thousand dollar TV? pics of your set up please and how far back do you sit from it?

If so waste of money. For that I would of invested in a sweet projector. Gaming on a 500" screen vs a 100". Ooooh man.

I use to game on a projector, it was way cool. The screen filled my 8' high, 10' wide wall. Was it overkill.. Hello NO!. But the bulb burnt out and ever got a new one. Only paid a few hundred for the projector so no big loss. It was cool to experiment with.

Re: What size TV are you playing your games on?

We play on a Sony Projector. Only 720p, though most people comment that it looks better than their 1080p TVs. ( It's all in the calibration.) Screen size is 125". Four recliner theater couch about 12 feet away, so it's big.

Waiting for the Sony 4K projectors to come down in price before I finally upgrade.
